Huh, their name translates to "Blizzard" and apparently, I have posted them many times on reddit (r/garagepunk).

NEW RELEASE

Oolskunrahod (SPAIN) - "Rabia" (2025)

I talk a lot on here about how good/unique vocals will push things over the finish line for me. This song, on the other hand IS GOOD, but the vocals actually detract from it. Still fun, though.
